Heaven help us if it becomes an arrestable offence here not to cross the road at the correct designated point. The jails would be full.
But none of that would have happened, if he had produced his driving licence when requested, or even simpler complied with the request in the first place not to cross the road.

It's hardly up there with Rodney King, in the list of police brutality.

When you travel, you obey the laws and customs of your host country or pay the consequences, you don't bleat about it afterwards.
